Questions from Shere
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Worktop repair in Shere, done in place
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Our technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
If you’re in Shere and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What affects the price in Shere
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shere. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Signs you need worktop repair in Shere
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips caused during installation
- Knife marks
- Chipped corners
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills straight away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
